In 2024, civil servants will see an increase in salary thanks to the renewals of national collective labor agreements (CCNL) for the three-year period 2022 2024. This increase ranges from 160 to 190 euros per month, equal to an increase of 6%. In this guide, we explore how the augmentation works, when it will be applied, and who will benefit from it. In addition, let’s analyze the other changes introduced for civil servants
.
How does the salary increase for civil servants work in 2024
The salary increase for civil servants was applied directly to the payroll starting from January 1, 2024. This increase is the result of accelerated negotiations to close the renewals of the public CCNL, announced on the eve of the approval of
the 2024 budget law.
Currently, the renewals of the CCNL Central Functions and the CCNL Local Functions are underway for the period 2019-2021. For other sectors, the renewals have already been carried out and the increases have been partly
disbursed.
Timing of the increase
Since January 2024, most civil servants have started to receive their salary increase. However, some sectors, such as employees covered by the CCNL Central Functions, are still waiting for the adjustment. This renewal concerns about 193,000 state companies and should be completed by the end of 2024. Once the contract is renewed, these employees will also receive the
arrears.
Extent of salary increase
The salary increase for civil servants in 2024 is equal to 6% of the monthly wage. In practical terms, this translates into an average increase of 160 euros per month for most public administration personnel, with peaks of up to 190 euros for some specific categories, such as armed forces and law enforcement personnel

- Contractual vacation allowance: equal to 1.5% of the salary due, this allowance is provided for contractual vacation periods.
